On September 17, 2018, LWV Wheaton was honored and happy to be at the naturalization ceremony at Cantigny Park. The League helped welcome a new group of citizens and was on hand to register new voters!

The members of the League worked with the Wheaton Public Library and the DuPage County Historical Museum to put an exhibit on the History of the League of Women Voters and the Suffragists in the library. Eleanor Roosevelt was one of the earlly leaders who espoused women's vote and the planks of the League.

Members and guests gather at Cantigny before the first presentation in the Civic Awareness Series. This series educated members and guests on the issues of Fake News, Running for Office and Campaign Finances.

Members Mike Barbier and Jan Kay attend the state convention for the League of Women Voters. Attendees discuss issues, action steps and vote on positions. It is an excellent way to network with members from other leagues.
